What: A Pride pool party hosted at the Westin Grand, this one is sure to be a big splash. DJ Nick Bertossi, DJ Domdrop, and more will be keeping the party going, so bring your brightest swimsuit to get the Saturday started right.

What: Man Up is a monthly drag show taking place at the Cobalt. Each month has a different theme, and what better time to check out performers strutting their stuff than during Vancouver’s Pride Weekend.

What: There’s no better—or more Vancouver—way to celebrate than with live music, and Queer as Funk has that in abundance. They will be kicking off Pride weekend at the Commodore Ballroom, and all are welcome.

What: In what is promising to be a hot night at the Odyssey leading up to the big Pride Parade, FukR Vancouver is bringing in New York DJ Corey Craig to crowd the dance floor with men, music, dance, and play.

Where: The Odyssey Bar and Nightclub, 686 W Hastings St, Vancouver

When: Saturday, August 5, 8 pm to 4 am
